CosHooToN STATION, ~ Y, Dec. 2s, 1884.
GENTS; A number of people had been
using your Bltters here, and with marked
effect. In fact, one case, lady Of over
seventy years, had been sick for years, and
for the past ten years have known her she
has not been able to be around half the
time. About six months ago she got so
feeble she was helpless. Her old remedies,
or physicians, being Of no avail, sent to
Deposit, forty.iive miles, and got bottle Of
Hop Bitters. II had such very beneficial
effect on her that one bottle improved her
so she was able to dress herself and walk
about the house. When she had taken the
second bottle she was able to take care OF
her own room and walk out to her neigh
boris and has improved all the time since.
My wife and children also have derived
great benefit from their use.

Officer j. p. Hinkle found an old man,
with gray beard, poorly dressed, wearing a
straw hat, staggering about the streets last
night IN helpless condition. He took him
to the first precinct station house.
"What is your name?" asked the sta
tionkeeper OF the drunk.
"Count Zawiska," was the reply.
The officers on searching the prisoner
brought forth a newspaper slip which tho
old man seemed to treasure. 1t stated that
he was an exile from Poland and came over
to this country In 1851 with Kossuth. lie
had fought under Napoleon In all his
famous battles. On arriving in America he
went to West Point and was made drill
master Of the cadets, which position he
occupied until the outbreak OF the rebel
lion, when he took "French leave" and
enlisted in the l0lst New York volunteer
regiment. The prisoner, when asked
his sge, replied that be was born in 1901,
but was put as GO yeas old, as he seemed
to be too lively man for one supposed to
be SO years OF age. When the old man was
put In his cell he stated that he came here
In order to get into the Soldiers Home,
ard when asked to talk about himself de-
clined TO do so. Heis well preserved, and
his face shows evidence of intelligence.

Angney by sight; he passed in Detroit
under the name Of j. p. Andrews.
The defense admitted that their client
had taken that name for four years.
The witness made the arrest Of Angney.
He went into sleeping car and told the
defendant that he had warrant for him
and wanted him. Angney asked to see the
warrant, which was shown him, and said IL
was for Jacob z. Angney, and denied being
the man. Witness called Wilmot, who
was In the depot, and he identified the man.
Angney said he was mistaken, and further,
that he had never seen Wllmot before in his
life. The witness told Angney he thought
him the man and took him Into custody.
Emma Kelton, colored, who was In the
employ OF Mr.. Wilmot in 1882 40 nurse,
testified to being in the parlor part of the
time Of the interview between Wilmot and
Angney, and repeated the conversation
to letter Wilmot had written about Ang.
ney's treatment OF his family aud Angney's
wanting him to go to the 81. Marc hotel to
look at some papers.
On ross-examlnation she picked out MIR.
ADgney, but could not tell how he wore his
whiskers when visiting the house. She had
not talked with Wilmot about the case.

was there he saw Angney hand paper to

Salinda III. Wilmot, wife OF the prosecut-
ing witness, was next called. She seemed
cool and collected, and spoke promptly
and distinctly. She said that she was the
sister.in.law Of Mr.. Angney, and met him
the night he came TO the house In the hall
He was angry and fierce, and said that she
had written a letter he did not like. She
started for her rooms and he followed. In
the parlor be saw Mr.. Wilmot and said that
he wanted him to 90 on his A.'s) bond aud
1t would be Of great benefit to him. He had
spoken to relatives and friends and they
had refused, and he said that he came tC
Mr.. Wilmot as last resort. Soon after
Mr.. Turubull called, and after short tall
the three went out together. During tht
time Mr. Angney was In the house the mer
